Commercial Description:
Maibocks are a traditional Teutonic seasonal specialty. We brew ours to be hugely malty and subtly finished with a variety of continental hops, with an eye-pleasing russet brown color.

Appearance: Pours a cheery-looking orange body with a small, white head. Smell: An aroma filled with honey and spice and everything nice (i.e., dough and lemon). Taste: Light, sweetish caramel flavor with notes of bee-fresh honey and citrus fruits. Noticeable doughiness. Hop flavor and bitterness remain quite light. Wraps up with a very drying finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-body. Medium carbonation. Somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Drinkability: Works for me! A pretty good maibock.

Bottle. Hazy cloudy gold color with medium sized fizzy head. Aroma of sweet malt,light caramel, bisquet dough, and hops. The taste was the same but rich, big, and chewy. Sweet and too thick so refreash you on a nice spring day, but enjoyable never the less.

Tap at Mugs Ale House: Pours an orange/golden with a small but strong white head. Decent aroma of soft German malts, a hint of citrus and a subtle hop note. Creamy body with a solid malt bite. Has a very light honey sweetness along with balancing herbal hop hints and a grainy character. A solid Bock.

Very fine stuff, and pretty refreshing on this blazing hot day. Much more malty than I’d anticipated, and not quite as crisp as I’d wanted for the style, but it’s flavorful and full. Nice.

22oz 2008 bomber courtesy of Dyan, thanks for the opportunity. The color of this beer is orange and has an odd brightness to it. It smells yeasty, cloves, malty. The flavors I get are fruits like apples and fruit with acidity. I am sure fans of the style will like this but my palate is still unable to really appreciate lagers.

Light amber pour with fluffy off-white head. Leave a decent lace behind. Toasty/nutty aroma. Caramel malts, grain, and some fruit

an interesting blend of yeast, hops and malt. the yeast is not overpowering and works well with the grassy hops. it has a very slight bitter but the malt smooths that over. a well rounded and unique flavor. pours translucent copper with white head. definitely worth tasting.

(From 8-3-08 sampling- thanks to whoever brought it!) Hazy orange in appearance, medium carbonation, aroma of oranges, bread, and musk. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt seemed to be very slightly toasted, some mild sweetness in the middle, finish that lingers with a slight hop note. Good stuff maynard!
